Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to examine how pre-service teachers evaluate current English digital textbooks and what their suggestions are for future digital textbooks. For this study, 94 pre-service teachers analyzed an elementary school English digital textbook and completed a survey in groups. They responded on a 5-point scale to 11 items evaluating digital textbook contents, support and management systems, and the system stability. Then they explained the rationale for the quantitative evalution. In general, the pre-service teachers positively evaluated the richness and usefulness of the contents. They also highly rated the system stability of the digital textbooks. However, they diagnosed that the support and management functions of teaching and learning were insufficient. Based on their analyses of the current textbooks, the pre-service teachers suggested improving the contents and functions of the glossary and audio materials, adjusting the screen composition to take into account the digital learning process, and enabling real-time interaction within the digital textbooks.
